Zirconium Schiff-Base Complex Modified Mesoporous Silica as an Efficient Catalyst for the Synthesis of Nitrogen Containing Pyrazine Based Heterocycles
Zirconium Schiff-base complex modified SBA-15 was synthesized and characterized by powder X-ray diffraction (XRD), BET nitrogen adsorption-desorption methods, IR spectroscopy and thermogravimetric analysis. The XRD and BET analyses show that textural properties of SBA-15 were retained during the grafting procedure. The modified SBA was successfully applied as a heterogeneous catalyst for the synthesis of a library of nitrogen containing pyrazine based heterocycles in good to excellent yields in water media.
